Hey everyone! So here comes chap. 5. Before I start though I want to
address some feedback I got, just so everyone will kind of understand my
thought process while writing the story.
~The first was, someone told me Jean is not dead, she becomes the Phoenix. I am aware of this and I have done much research on it, I'm not exactly sure what I will do with this yet though. I don't know if I'm going to put her in my story or not yet.
~The second was that people do not burn at the stake anymore that burning was from more barbaric times. I am also aware of this and when I decided that was the way she was going to be executed I did it to prove something. And that was that even though the people of this time are so advanced they will still resort back to the barbaric ways of the past when they are scared and or ignorant on a certain subject. The people were scared of mutants so they resorted to their carnivoral state of using barbaric ways on the things they are ignorant of.
I hope that clears up any misunderstandings about the story and I really respect and look forward to reading everyone's feed back and reviews so keep it coming! Enjoy! ~Me

The flames raged all around the mutant and Kurt was contemplating whether or not to make a rush at the mutant and just pull her out of there. But no he had to wait until the time was right. Another minute of nervousness went by....the time was right he decided, Kurt signaled Storm to work her magic as the flames started to get higher and higher.
Kurt waited a couple of seconds, what was taking her so long? He gave the signal a couple more times getting more and more anxious as the seconds past, what the hell was she waiting for? All of the sudden a bolt of lightning flashed through the sky it was brilliant white and Kurt had to shield his eyes because the bolt was so bright.
****
A bright bolt of lightning flashed overhead.
All of the people in crowd turned to see as the lightning hit a tree limb and the limb cracked and fell slowly to the ground. The crack was almost deafening and that was exactly the kind of distraction that Mystique had been waiting for. She untied the thick rope that was around the mutant's hands from wooden pole behind her as it began to rain. The curtains in front of the stage slowly began to come together and there was a loud booing coming from the crowd.
A voice boomed over the PA system, "I'm sorry folks but though the mutant's execution will continue we will have to keep the curtains shut so that the rain does not put out the flames."
That was obviously something the do-good "Xmen" had not foreseen because the executioner ran off the stage and came back with a pail of water that had been set under the stage to put out the fire when the execution was over . If he through that water on the fire it would ruin Mystique's plan, the people had to believe the mutant was dead and that would be impossible if the flames were put out because it would be obvious that the mutant was not dead.
"Stop!" She shouted, "I have this under control, she will not die. Go outside the curtain and make sure no one is coming in and I will get her out of this."
"Mystique, why should I trust you?" Kurt asked as the wooden pole fell back onto the floor behind her and Mystique caught the mutant as she was also falling backwards.
"You shouldn't," Mystique said with a sly grin as Sabretooth barreled through the back curtain with another woman in his arms.
Sabretooth sat the other woman down and picked the other up and started for the stage exit while Mystique stayed behind to tie the other woman up.
****
Kurt ran after Sabretooth as fast as he could while yelling into his hidden microphone, "THEY HAVE HER, THEY'RE GOING OUT THE BACK!" Kurt broke through the back curtain and leaped off the stage as Scott ran around the side of the stage and met Kurt.
"Kurt! He's headed for a car on the other side of that hill. I'll go left, the jet is above us right now, so you go right and use your teleporting powers to get her up to the jet then come back for me alright?"
"Alright, if I can get close enough." Kurt went right and found a wide tree to hide behind as he waited for Sabretooth to become stationary again.
Sabretooth stopped at the back of a big suburban, opened the trunk and gently laid the unconscious mutant in the back. After the mutant was safely in the trunk a red laser shot across the open field hitting its mark, the tires, causing them to deflate.
Sabretooth ducked behind the van, Kurt took this opportunity. He vanished and reappeared right beside the van grabbed the mutant and teleported up to the jet as quickly as he could.
****
Scott saw Kurt take the mutant and disappear. Sabretooth jumped up to try to grab Kurt but he was already gone. Saretooth stood dumbfounded for a moment as if he weren't sure what had just happened.
Kurt reappeared beside Scott, "Let us go now."
"Wait, let's have little fun," Scott smirked and used his laser to sear off a part of Sabretooth's tooth and laughed.
Kurt smiled and grabbed Scott.
When they reappeared in the jet Scott immediately looked around the jet to make sure everyone was there. Marie was holding the mutants head in her lap while Ororo tried to take care of the burns on the mutant's legs.
"Has she woken up yet?"
"No," Marie responded with a concerned look in her eyes. The mutant's face was ashen and her lips were almost blue.
"I wish Jean were here," Ororo said aloud without thinking. Ororo looked up at Scott apologetically.
Scott nodded his head as he went over to sit by Marie; the mutant was so beautiful, how could she be a murderer? As Scott stroked the woman's head he knew that she couldn't be a killer.
"How is she doing?" the Prof. asked from the control helm at the front of the jet.
"Not well," Ororo replied, "We need to get her to a hospital."
"We will be at the mansion any minute and I've already called for a doctor to come so just try to keep her stable until then."
"I will but you must hurry, I think she is very close to death." Almost as soon as that was said the mutant started going into a seizure.
~The first was, someone told me Jean is not dead, she becomes the Phoenix. I am aware of this and I have done much research on it, I'm not exactly sure what I will do with this yet though. I don't know if I'm going to put her in my story or not yet.
